Wanted to get back into the dsm scene since my last one got totalted over 2 years ago. I'm willing to travel.

What do you need help with dude?

Not yet my car down for a couple weeks or more still. I'll go to rdm after my car running good.

Honestly man it doesn't seem worth it for $2500. Reason being for frame damage and extensive body repair. Which will cost a hefty penny to fix and in the end it may not be safe. You could buy it and swap the engine and everything else good into a gsx shell. They are hard to find but worth it...

Ejanes I need the front bumper lol. Pick n pull has a rear bumper i thinks still. It's red thou

Nice! I should be going in a month or two depends how long it takes me to get this car running.

tie rod replacement and an alignment :thumb:

Kelford 272 thats what i'm getting on this rebuild

That's a 1g he has a 2g. http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/basic-horsepower-ugrades-2g-4g63t.480196/

Oh okay thanks guys!

what do you mean by remote mount kit?

thanks! did you connect your oil pressure guage to the stock location or ofh?

@95GSTowner those look great! I'm getting those pretty soon. What guages from top to bottom?

You can also use hairyspray. Holds up really well.

Just take it to a mechanic before buying it and if the owner won't let you don't buy it.

Holy thread rival didn't see date haha

Speed Concept can. I believe it's $50 a fender.

Wet compression test=some oil in each cylinder

Replace the alternator it's crap now. Don't buy from autozone. I have better luck with alternators from the wrecking yards lol

Jafromoblie is for 2gs This guy Robert is also good and has a 1g https://www.youtube.com/user/robertbaxley

They talk about it here.. http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/download-a-2g-service-manual.324090/ *oops i meant 1g dsm sorrry http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/download-the-1g-service-manuals.344490/

dealer

Those tests at the auto parts store won't test load. Do a load test.

drives a honda

still aching from his butt

I've seen some on craigslist lately. Check em out..

Looking great! where did you get that front lip from?

supercharged 420a eh.

Have you installed them? I'm looking to get one as well.

looking good, sweet deal! What are your goals for it?

whats your shop called? I am looking for a machinist for my 7 bolt

English racing said 7 bolts are trash and to get a 6 bolt. What's ams?

You could also buy a remanufActured engine.

Have you done a compression test on it? Do that first before buying a used engine.

oh crap haha my bad yeah. Are you looking for a used or rebuilt?

Hello fellow Portlanders, Do any of you know a good shop that does rebuilds on a 7-bolt 4g63t? I will have to take the car to the shop, since i don't have time right now. Thanks:cry:

craigslist.

Rod knock confirmed. Gonna get my engin rebuilt. Should I get a 6 bolt? Or keep the 7 bolt?

Have the battery load tested. Don't go to autozone, you need a load test.

Alright so I haven't space in the garage and it's raining to check the oil pan but now it's blowing white smoke. I hear the sound coming from where the pistons are. My guess is piston slap. Maybe that's why I got low compression on cylinder 2 and 3. I'm still going to take oil pan off to inspect.

I saw your post again and I understand what you are asking now. The Belmont in portland is the one you want. Rdm is in portland. Oh and welcome to crappy weather Oregon.. :D

Three choices as in car meets? What do you need clarification for?

Okay i'll take it down tomorrow and i'll let you guys know.. I'll also post pictures as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, its a learning process.

Yeah that would be a good idea first before dismantling it. I'm going to try dropping the oil pan tomorrow after school. What should i check for in the bottom end? Or should i take the car to the shop where i had the transmission work done?

Alright should I get a used 7 bolt or 6 bolt with 2g pistons for better compression ratio or just a stock one? Also is the cylinder I have on trash or can it be saved? Thanks for advice. I knew dsm were going to be rough but they are fun and good learning experience. I will build it right. So...

Thanks for being understanding man. I'm a student in college and have limited time/money so I was hoping it Would work but oh well. Do you recommend a used engine or a rebuild? I want do a leak down test before tearing it apart but I don't have a compressor.. I want to rebuild but I need car for...

I got the car running after lifter install and it quieted down a little bit. But the sound is still there. It quiets down under load around 2k and idle it taps like mad. I'm loosing oil pressure as well. What do you guys suggest? I'm pretty certain I need a engine rebuild.. you're right...

I couldn't find a part number but here's a link. http://www.toolsource.com/dohc-hydra...r-p-93449.html I have tried prying against the head but it won't even move up,my fingers are numb from fumbling with the rockers.. I will try at a different angle tomorrow. Here's how it looks now.

The Mitsubishi VLA removal/install tool. I'll continue using the prybar method. I need this car by Monday.. I can't get good leverage on the prybar for the rockers by the head. Any good technique I can use for them?
